Robyn Hitchcock performs his song "I Often Dream of Trains" live from the new DVD/CD release "I OFTEN DREAM OF TRAINS IN NEW YORK."
"I Often Dream of Trains in New York" was recorded live at Symphony Space in New York City in the fall of 2008 during the U.S. leg of Hitchcock's highly anticipated I Often Dream of Trains Tour. Deftly shot by acclaimed director John Edginton (The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story) and originally aired on the Sundance Channel, this concert film DVD (and accompanying audio CD) captures the cult songwriting icon recreating one of his most intimate and haunting albums in its entirety.
Robyn is joined by Trains tour-mates Terry Edwards (vocals, keyboards, trumpet, soprano sax, guitar) and Tim Keegan (vocals, guitar) as well as guests Gaida Hinnawi (vocals) and Amir El Saffar (trumpet) from the Robyn-led band seen in Jonathan Demme's stunning film Rachel Getting Married. As its title suggests, I Often Dream of Trains is a glimpse into the phantasmagorical mind of the artist himself. And I Often Dream of Trains in New York captures him fantastically raw and singularly in-the-moment - in other words, quintessentially...Hitchcock.

This guy is brilliant. I think this is the nicest version of the song and the ending is so drifty. Robyns lyrics are sometimes dark but beautiful, I dont know where he thinks them up but he's definatly an underrated artist.
